did), check out the original short story published
in the August 1977 edition of Analog. You can find
it in "Maps in a Mirror the Short Story Fiction of
Orson Scott Card".

Some Quotes

"Individual  human beings are all tools,  that the
others use to help us all survive." (Graff)

There was  no doubt in Ender's mind.  There was no
help for him.  Whatever he faced, now and forever,
no  one  would save  him from  it.  Peter might be
scum, but Peter had been right, always right;  the
power  to  cause  pain  is  the  only  power  that
matters, the power to kill and destroy, because if
you can't kill you are always subject to those who
can, and nothing no one will ever save you.

"Human beings didn't evolve brains in order to lie
around on lakes.  Killing  is  the  first thing we
learned. And a good thing we did, or we'd be dead,
and the tigers would rule the earth." (Valentine)

"There is no teacher but the enemy."
(Mazer Rackham)

"Welcome to  the  human race.  Nobody controls his
own life, Ender.  The best you can do is choose to
be controlled by good  people,  by people who love
you." (Valentine)

A Mistake?

"It wasn't a dark game, but it wasn't a bright one
either-the lights were about half,  like dusk.  In
the distance,  in the dim light,  he could see the
enemy door,  their  lighted  flash  suits  already
pouring  out.   Ender  knew  a  moments  pleasure.
Everyone had  learned from Bonzo's misuse of Ender
Wiggin.   They   all  jumped   through   the  door
immediately,  so that  there was  no  chance to do
anything  other than name the formation they would
use."

*   but wasn't it Rose the Nose that ordered Ender
    to jump out the door, which made Dink start to
    practise instant emergence, therefore changing
    the game?
